Start-Up Procedure and Diagnostic Menu

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are two ways to enter the diagnostic mode:

Method 1:

Start the vehicle, and at the disclaimer screen use the navigation display hard buttons as described below:

Make sure the battery is in good condition then press and hold the three buttons MAP/GUIDE, MENU, and CANCEL, for about 3 seconds. The display screen goes directly to the Select Diagnosis items menu shown below.

Method 2:

Start the vehicle. When the globe screen appears, connect the SCS service connector (see FORCED STARTING OF THE NAVIGATION UNIT  ) to the navigation service connector located behind the navigation unit in the cargo area. The screen changes to the System Links screen and automatically begins running the self diagnostic. See the System Links service information for more information.

NOTE: When finished troubleshooting, make sure to remove the SCS service connector.
